Pork Butt & Smoked Chex Party Mix

[Jim Lampe]

ordered an 8 pound bone-in butt, got a 7 pound boneless.
make lemonade.

seasoned last night with Jane's Butt Rub
and on the WSM at 7:53 this morning.

hickory wood for smoke.
while that was smokin', Liz wanted to can some salsa she whipped up...
so got the burner set-up outside before the rain drops.

once that got going, I threw together some party mix from a recipe I found in the latest KCBS BullSheet
here it is:

▼ without the seasoning...

...with the seasoning and on the WSM above the pork ▼

and altogether now...

...and a coupla shots taken of the mix just now...

hope it's good....

Jim, that recipe contains a glaring and insulting error.

It equates margarine with butter.

 

[Jim Lampe]

I saw that too Brad, but the recipe is from Kansas City... not Wisconsin.

 

[Richard Hinton]

Nice. Love that party mix recipe. It's a keeper. Thanks for sharing, Jim.

 

[Jim Lampe]

Thanks Richard!
Brad, I fixed the photo and eliminated the M word.

Looks great Jim! I'm sure it's going to be a great dinner(your lemonade). Send some of that rain my way!

Jim... I knew I was going to love this post when I read your title line. I love Chex Mix. My wife makes it every Christmas and bags it and gives it to the family. Definitely will try yours, soon. The butt looks great too. Know it will be great.

Cookin up a storm of good grub as usual. Love the two story WSM. I really like Chex mix, I'll have to show that to Barb for her next Bunco game.

I have been using Bad Byron's Butt Rub in place of seasoned salt in the original Chex mix recipe for years. Love the idea of doing it in the smoker. Going to give that a go this fall.

oops, sorry folks, I completely forgot.... here are a few photos...

after the butt reached 200ºF, I foiled it, rested it for an hour while I used the WSM to grill some corn

then pulled the pork...

plated the pork inside some Greek pita flat breads...

it was ok, not great...

thanks for stoppin' by again!

 

[Bob Correll]

Too late, I already ate, but could eat again if I had that plate!

 

[Rich Dahl]

Looks good from here.

How was the Chex Mix?

Yes, this. I'm really interested in how the Chex mix turned out as well.
